Knew a little about this character from the Spider-Man comics when I was reading/collecting them. This film touched on aspects from them, whilst delivering an extremely enjoyable variation (new to me) of it. The action and violence is certainly expected, but didn’t go into the gratuitous variety – there was also a nice amount of 'tongue in cheek’ humour scattered throughout. This character deserves a sequel or two in the near future. The lacklustre extras on the DVD is why it only scored a 4 .
